Using the ".selected" property of a checkBox?

[neilyb]

When trying to check if a checkBox has been checked can you use the checkBox.selected property and assign it to a variable in order to process it? Basically I want to control one movie depending on certain checkBoxes being checked?

Thanks

How about...

if (yourCheckBox.selected == true){
//do whatever
}

Tried that, but when I selected any other checkBox and executed this code the checkBox in the code became selected!? Thats why I wondered if there was a way of extracting this info to a variable, but I tried trace(checkBox.selected) and this didn't return a value.

You're right. I wasn't really thinking. How's this:
Suppose I have two check boxes called check1 and check2. Then I have a dynamic text box called output.

function checkChange(component) {
if (component._name == "check1" && component.getValue() == true) {
output = output + "Box 1 checked. ";
} else if (component._name == "check2" && component.getValue() == true) {
output = output + "Box 2 checked. ";
}
}

Looks a little beyond me, but I will try on Monday. My way is a bit more long winded!

Thanks
